Horns and Hogs from Austin

BY ANDRES FOCIL

Welcome to the Austin, Texas, for tonight’s live blog. Phil Pierce (at left) is on the main keyboard. The basic ground rules for participation — please use your real name, perhaps your home town. No screen names, handles or guest/anonymous posting allowed. This is a moderated chat so not all comments will make it through — if more than one person asks a similar question or post, we’ll pick one. Since this is just like a digital fan section, we’d ask you to keep it family friendly with the comments with good sportsmanship. Finally, all are welcome — including our opponent fans. We appreciate the perspective you can bring to the game.
